Mosdos Press Literature program is a comprehensive approach to Language Arts for Junior High. 2023/2024 is using “Gold,” which is also labeled as 8th grade. This program replaces Lightning Literature.
The student edition is an anthology, with short stories, poetry, drama, nonfiction, novellas, and excerpts from novels. Gold level also contains the complete novel The Voyage of the Lucky Dragon by Jack Bennett. This book serves as the primary source of reading materials needed to successfully complete the course. Additional reading materials, especially while studying poetry, will be provided.
Through Mosdos Press, students learn the vocabulary of literary criticism and analysis. The readings provided are a way for students to master the art of critical thinking, while class discussion improves communication skills. Students will work on improving writing skills using the basic 5-7 sentence paragraph form.
